I just recently sold one that would have been within your budget.
the only reason I sold it was because I added a Gibson LG2 AE, that took the Jr's place. It was a great guitar sound wise and playability.
I recently played one of the all sapele Jrs at GC, and it too sounded nice,,,may buy one of these in the future.
Another guitar to watch out for is the Breedlove Premier Concert.
I picked up one of these used for $550 off of Craig's list, and it is an incredible guitar.
hope this helps

Thanks, Bill. Good points. I haven't come across either a Dread Jr. or Breedlove yet, but I'll keep my eyes open for one. As far as my musical style, think Syd Barrett/Tom Verlaine/Robyn Hitchcock/Paul Weller. Pretty eclectic stuff, leaning towards psychedelic rock. I also dig Coryell, Hendrix, and Jorma. Of course, these are players known mostly for their electric work, but it is what it is.
